The sum of two consecutive numbers is n+1. What are the numbers?

1 answer:

4 0

Number A: n

Number B: (n-1)

---------------------------

Let's search for the value of (n) to find the number A and B...

$n+\left( n-1 \right) =n+1\\ \\ n+n-1=n+1\\ \\ 2n-1=n+1\\ \\ 2n-n=2\\ \\ n=2$

If n=2,

Number A = 2

Number B = 1

The two consecutive numbers are 1 and 2.

the length of a side of the square is 4x-1. write a simplified expression that represents the perimeter of the square

Temka [501]

Answer: 16x - 4

Explanation: Since all of the sides of a square are equal in length by definition, the perimeter of a square is 4 times its side length. 4(4x-1) is 16x - 4 when simplified.

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The Remainder theorem states that if f(x) is divided by (x - h) then

f(h) is the remainder, thus

division by (x - 1) then h = 1

f(1) = 4(1)³ - 7(1)² - 2(1) + 6

= 4 - 7 - 2 + 6 = 1 ← remainder

The factor theorem states that if (x - h) is a factor of f(x), then f(h) = 0

Here f(1) = 1

Hence (x - 1) is not a factor of f(x)
